💜The air was fragrant with a thousand aromatic herbs, with fields of lavender💜
~ William C. Bryant.
.▬▬▬.
Nothing is quite as beautiful as a field of lavender blowing gently in the breeze.
.▬▬▬.
This weekend I’ve taken time away staying at a beautiful winery that’s also home to a hillside covered in winding rows of fragrant lavender.
.▬▬▬.
I love that S.E. Queensland has so much to offer in tourism - whether it’s a day trip, a night away or a weekend getaway.
I highly recommend exploring this amazing Mt. Cotton Winery for yourself.
When you’re there, wander down and get lost in the moment - just like I did here.

What a beautiful view from the top of our new Art Gallery here on the Gold Coast.
Remember, stop when you reach the top and enjoy the view.

EVERY DAY IS A FRESH NEW START. .▬▬▬. So bea

“Look deep into nature, and then you will unders

“Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better.”
~ Albert Einstein.
.▬▬▬.
Take a walk.
Feel the sun on your skin.
Let your lungs deeply breathe in fresh air.
Allow your mind be present ‘in the moment’, and, leave all your troubles and worries behind.
Nature is healing to the mind and good for the soul.
.▬▬▬.
It’s important for a healthy mind to step outside and enjoy fresh air every day. Gosh, this makes me feel so much happier & healthier than being cooped up inside!
God created a beautiful world for us to freely enjoy & it’s wonderful to explore it, even if it’s right at your backyard.

Hello World. Hello Scrumptious Dinner. Hello Fresh

Hello World.
Hello Scrumptious Dinner.
Hello Fresh.
.▬▬▬.
Keeping healthy and eat well in these Covid lockdown times.
.▬▬▬.
Several of my followers have told me how tempted they are by our delicious dinner creations recently - thanks to Hello Fresh.
We’re gathering our favourite favoured dishes to present to you, and this one is definitely worth trying.
.▬▬▬.
Chicken pan-fried butterflied steaks, bacon & mushroom sauce, garden vegetables & the creamiest of mash potatoes!
Yummmmmmmm.
.▬▬▬.
All made fresh in about 20 minutes and for way less than the cost of a restaurant takeaway meal during Covid lockdown.
.▬▬▬.
••• If you’d like to try it for yourself, then please use the special Discount Code MUM40 for your 40% off their first box 📦 (delivered to your door so no wasting time at the shops either).

"I could walk with you fur-ever."
~ unknown.
.▬▬▬.
The world is concentrating on health right now, and nothing is quite as healthy as a walk out in the fresh open air, with the sun shining, plus your dog besides you to make you happy.
.▬▬▬.
Let’s all get out daily to exercise and get plenty of vitamin D to fight germs - just like any good doctor will instruct. Being fit and healthy is so important!
.▬▬▬.
Last time I was in the Ipswich area I discovered this fantastic massive reserve right besides a river.
Huge open spaces, plenty of space all to yourself, and ideal to visit if you have a dog.

“Life can be like a roller coaster with its ups

“Life can be like a roller coaster with its ups and downs. What matters most is whether you are keeping your eyes open or closed during the ride, and, who is next to you.”
~ Ana Ortega.
.▬▬▬.
Covid lockdowns are like a roller coaster. Just when you think you know what’s next, a sudden turn lunges you off in a different direction. That’s life right now for us in Queensland.
.▬▬▬.
Are you in lockdown; do you have restrictions, & if so, what and where?

Always LOOK UP!
.▬▬▬.
When you need to gain perspective on life, look up.
It’s thought times in Australia right now with Covid lockdowns coming and going in the states. Shift your focus with faith & remember to always look up no matter how grim circumstances are.
.▬▬▬.
I loved my visit to this incredible atrium style conservatory at the Brisbane Botanical Gardens.
Just fabulous to visit!
Where have you visited that you thought was fabulous this year?
